The Americans who voted for President Donald Trump are seeing a âwholesale violationâ of his campaign promise to avoid unnecessary wars, especially the United States-Israel war on Iran, US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse argues.
The Democrat tells host Steve Clemons that the Iran war has been âmanaged just spectacularly incompetently and dishonestlyâ. Other countries increasingly see the US as
similar to âsome of the worst-behaved countries they have to deal with, where bribe requests, side deals, personal favours and ulterior motives are really whatâs
going on,â Whitehouse says. He adds that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu âhasnât been a good friendâ.
